A large amount of exclusive Metal Gear Solid V content available in the UK

Well as August seems to almost upon us, that means September is just around the corner as well. Once fall begins, lots of big name games hit the shelves. One of those will be Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. Naturally those who pre-order the long awaited new addition to the MGS franchise will get Day 1 DLC, a physical map and online XP wherever you pre-order the basic game (such as Gamestop or Amazon). However those in the UK seem to have larger options for the more hardcore fans.

This of course comes with the Day One edition and additional content and its own official cardboard box. Of course, this costs quite the pretty penny, but it looks like this huge package has not, or will not, reach North America. No North American prodvider has even put up this huge package, while the UK store GAME have already priced it at £364.99 ($566.37).

Of course for those who already have a perfectly working PS4 console, there is the mysterious Collector’s edition, which comes (oddly enough) with a robotic arm. However that still has been labeled as unavailable from most North American game providers while the UK already has priced it at £99.99 ($155.13).

This seemingly exclusivity and availability in the UK raises a few question: will the Collector’s edition become available to fans in the US? Why the sudden focus on exclusives to the UK? Is it because of a bigger fanbase or something else? Any ideas or theories from you, the gaming community at large?
